The boy quickly scrambled back to his feet & brushed himself off (for what it was worth.) He looked from one face to another jittery. "I..I..I'm sorry sir..ma'am...I..I..I..was just...just..." he stopped.'stealing some food' wouldn't have been a wise choice of words. He chewed his lip & stared at the floor for a few mintues before looking back up. "...If I had asked you would've said 'No'. & I'd have never gotten away..." He grew quiet again."I thought that if I kept quiet you wouldn't even have known I'm here."He stared at the two of them fearfull, awaiting what his sentance would turn out to be.

The penguin awkwardly rose from the floor. He stood for several minutes as if in a trance, staring into the stowaway's face. He then slowly turned and walked zombie-like up the stairs to the deck of the ship. Then, startlingly, he called out:

"BOYS! WE GOT A STOWAWAY! PREPARE THE PLANK!"

He grinned and winked in Jenna's direction, then sidled up to her, whispering "Don't worry, lass. We'll be gentle on th' boy."

Siren heard the Captain's yell for the men to prepare the plank. She took off at a run, nearly colliding into Jenna. She took a look at the boy, who'd obviously been enjoying the left over food. Siren quirked an eyebrow. "Oh dear. You're going to walk the plank. This will be fun! Oops.. I mean horrible. This is horrible!" Siren frowned, looking mighty concerned. "Don't worry, little one. It'll be okay."

The boy was obviously horrified by his current predicament. He shook his head vigorously."No sir! Please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to stowaway!! Please!! I'll...I'll...I'll try to make it up!! Just please sir!"He was shaking like a leaf

Jenna glanced at the captain and winked back. "Well, maybe we're being a little too hasty, Cap. Surely there's something on board he can do to make up for it." She looked at how skinny the boy was. She turned her back to the boy and whispered to the Captain, "D'you think he could help Siren in the galley? She could probably use the help, and he could d**n sure use the food."
